‘Onward’ To Be Released On Disney+ Just Weeks After Premiering In Theaters

Disney and Pixar’s “Onward” will soon be streaming on Disney+, less than one month after being release in theaters. Disney said in a release, “With cinemas currently impacted by closures due to the global health crisis, Disney will offer the film ahead of schedule.”

Starting Friday evening, the film was available for digital download for $19.99, and those with Disney+ can start streaming it on April 3. The film, released on March 6, stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as brothers who go on an epic quest in hopes of having a brief reunion with their late father.

Disney’s decision to push up the film’s home release comes one week after the family friendly studio decided to push up the release of hit sequel “Frozen 2” by three months in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
